Lüta

Talien (Dairen) and Lüshun (Port Arthur) at the rocky tip of the Liaotung Peninsula, now often referred to as the single conurbation of Lüta, do a still larger shipping business as the dominant ports for the highly commercialized industrialized economy of the Northeast, and profit from the excellent harbor of Talienwan (wan “bay”); inland connections with Manchuria are primarily by rail, since the Liao River is navigable only for small craft.

A number of ships of identical size (1,878 meters long and 25 meters wide) have since been built in Lüta (Liaoning), where China's first—and so far only—50,000-dead-weight-ton tanker, powered by the country's largest marine diesel engine, was launched in 1976.[…] China's first large underground stone cave oil tank—10,000 cubic meters—was completed at an undisclosed location only in 1977, and construction of the first large aboveground steel tank of the identical volume to store oil for large power plants was finished in Lüta in 1977.
